"If growing up means it would be beneath my dignity to climb up a tree, I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! Not me!" –Peter Pan.

It seems as if it was just yesterday when we were all introduced to the infamous Pretty Committee. But time flies by, and now all the girls are scattered around the globe in their last year of high school. What will this year bring? Let me give you a hint: adventures, romance and magic.

Massie Block: Even after she moves to England, she is still the same Massie we all know –self-centered, popular, fashionable and immature. But with only one year left for college, her mom decides to straighten up Massie so she can be the good citizen that the world needs…by making her work as a waitress. And facing the embarrassment of getting a job isn't her only problem. Apparently, their parents are taking in another family friend to temporally live with them. It's Claire all over again…except that this time, it isn't a girl who Massie will be sharing a house with, but a boy. A boy named Derrick Harrington, whose parents' business became so famous that they are moving for a year to London so they can expand their business internationally. Work, using an ex-boyfriend and another ex-boyfriend hitting on her? Get ready, Ms. Block!

Claire Lyons: A few weeks after Massie's departure, Claire was kicked out from the Pretty Committee and dumped by her boyfriend. Trying to find a new beginning, she begged her parents to enroll her in Abner Double Day High. That's right, a public school. But even though at daytime she is the whiny girl who everyone ignores, at nighttime she is the complete opposite. After all, she is the Academy Award winning actress, Stacey Tigers. But Claire is Claire, and even all the fame and money in the world won't stop her from wanting her friends back. But her plan to re-enter the famous Pretty Committee and win her old love's heart will backfire, because she might just end up causing trouble for her ex-friends and ex-boyfriend...

Kristen Gregory: After a year with her traveling soccer team, she decides to drop out…to the displeasure of her mother, who out of anger sends her to live in California with her Aunt Trudy. But wait, there's more. After moving to Malibu, Kristen discovers a new passion: solving crimes. Even though the police department is still surprised that a seventeen-year-old can solve cases that they can't even catch a suspect for, Kristen has become one of the best-known detectives in Malibu. Did I mention that she kind of likes her chief's English step-son, James, even if she doesn't want to admit it? He'll be more important later on in the story, though. What's important is that she might soon be reunited with her old friends when a personal cold case brings her back to Westchester. And don't get me started on all the hard-work she'll face to enter Julliard…

Alicia Rivera: After Massie left, she became the ultimate alpha of Octavian High. But it wasn't an easy road. To climb her way over to the top, she had to lie her heart out. That's right, lies, lies and more lies are what built this gorgeous girl's fabulous life. But thanks to an old friend, one day she finds herself under a spell. She can't utter a single lie…not even a white lie! Now, how will she become the lawyer she aspires to be without being able to lie? And what will happen to her status in high school if she starts offending popular girls out of the blue? Let's just hope that she finds the way to break the spell…even though she doesn't know she has been cursed. But don't worry, Alicia fans. This year won't be bad for her. She will find a true friend, after all, and she will join something that we call a crime investigation…accidentally.

Dylan Marvil: Or should I say, the marvilous Dylan Marvil? Marvilous Marvils is the #1 reality show on TV, and Dylan is the favorite out of the whole Marvil clan. Sadly, she doesn't think that life in the spotlight is her thing anymore…she has another dream. Publish a romance novel. Thankfully, her fame might help her book become a number one best-seller! But…what happens when a new reality show tries to steal her spotlight? And what about the new gossip that someone's spreading around? Will she be able to survive this year? And what about college? She does, after all, want to go to Europe to study literature. But then again, if she leaves, her reality show will definitely be cancelled, and her family would totally hate her.

The clique…the harder thing than staying in is staying sane.
